Coon Prices?

[jmiller676]

Anybody know what the price for one good sized coon, skin on body was going for last year? My dad and I use to trap but the prices went south and haven't checked on them in years.

I "THINK" I read on Hoosierhunter.com, they were going for $15. They have a trapping section there. I was looking to see what a yote would bring..... like $5 not worth the skeeter bites

I donate mine... to my brother... who skins and fleshes them for me... all I do is shoot them. It's a really god deal for me, it reduces my bill at his gunshop (he is a stock maker). He takes of $6 per animal, coyote, coons, rabbits.

Back in the day, there was a bunch of us who ran trap lines before school every day, back before the wheel, before electricity, you know, the 80's.

I ship my fur to NAFA. Last year coon Avg. $4.72 , high $8.50. Beaver-$18.25 avg. Muskrat-$2.83 avg. Market was looking like coon were going over $20 then fell flat on its face.

I trapped for the first time last year and sold all my animals to a gentlemen that lives west of New Pal. He paid me $4 for small coon and up to $10 for a big one. He also paid me $2 for every opossum.

Where was this guy outside of new pal. Being I live out there been lookin for someone to sell coyote too when season starts, dont even really care if he pays me just need some place to get rid of them. Did you have to skin them first or just give him the whole carcass?

 

[66chevelle]

He will not buy coyotes. I am not for sure what the road is called out there but it turns into Thompson road. His last name is Phares. I take everything to him as a frozen carcass. There is also a gentlemen in Kennard that I am going to start using this year he is supposed to pay more.

Hoosierhunters.com is the correct address

My son sold his to an Amish man who lives near Berne, IN. He averaged $12 for his coon on the carcass. He got $15 for the large coons.

I hope they are better this year. Last year I averaged 5 bux for a hide.

Here is a good list of local buyers Hoosier Hunting: IN furbuyers list. Also, Hoosier Trapper Supply,Hoosier Trapper Supply > Home, in Greenwood is a NAFA agent if you want to ship them to Canada. They also do great taxidermy work and are great people to deal with.
